jcmcgaffey Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I had the same feeling on both days this past weekend. Although I knew it was going to happen... it was still very annoying. My wife and I were certain it was following us:-Wednesday did a half day at work and took the family up to La Conner and of course a conv zone set up all evening and then dropped south as we drove south all the way home and parked at home just north of downtown Seattle. - Thurs & Friday stayed home and convergence stayed in place over north Seattle. - Saturday visited family in Bellevue and convergence set up just south of I90 most of the day. - Sunday visited in laws in Renton/Maple Valley and conv set up most of the day down there.

You said a cold IO was significant.No, because the IO/ATL is still the coldest tropical domain and remains the focus for subsidence. The recent warming is a reflection of the seasonal cycle as it relates to the monsoonal cell primers.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Its been raining almost every day for 2.5 months down here. I will be vigilant for any sign of drought. Could be tomorrow... we just don't know. I was in the office today and drought was the main topic of conversation with the sun breaking out for a couple hours this afternoon. People are getting nervous. But it looks like relief is on the way tomorrow evening and Wednesday. Wish I could send the rain shadow your way, I can see a patch of menacing clear sky to the south east of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it holds we could probably string 5 days of melt-freeze by next Saturday if it doesn't get warmer/cloudier and some really good spring snow conditions would be in store.

Phil Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 The US is on a near record pace with tornado frequency so far. This storm system in the south certainly won't put a damper on those numbers, either. It's not often you see 100kt low level jets anywhere, let alone a warm, tornado-friendly one with excellent deep layer shear and low-level veering, through a warm sector, in an occluding low, in April, in the most tornado-friendly climate on earth. Wouldn't surprise me if there are a few big ones tonight.

It definitely rained both days in Seattle as well. I was there on Saturday. It rained out here most of the weekend of course. A nice weekend day is not unrealistic to expect even here after rain almost every day since late January.

Like everyone else has said in one way or another, if you don't like your weather then move to somewhere where you will. We all know it will eventually get sunny and this has been a wet period for the ages, but it's not unheard of so no need to repeat it.

Anti Marine Layer Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Majority of people on weather forums seem to enjoy cool/cold and rainy weather. I like to watch a good downpour too, but those are hard to come by here in Southern California and I don't understand why so many people prefer a 60-ish overcast day over a sunny day in the low 70s. I know endless sunshine can be boring, but so is cloudy weather with no rain. I've seen many people who would enjoy a Northwest Coast like summer where the highs are in the 50s on the days the marine layer does not burn off and low to mid 60s when the sun does come out except for those rare offshore flow episodes where it can reach 80s or 90s for 1-3 days.A cool summer (mid 70s) is nice, but upper 50s to low 60s is freezing by my standards, and I know many people would prefer it over a hot summer. I love to swim and I need my Vitamin D. San Francisco is often colder in July than January. Unacceptable summer weather to me. My dog loves the sun also and does not want to go outside on cool, overcast days. All people are different, however. To some, 74 degrees means time to turn on the AC. To me it feels quite cool.

Dave Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I should move for being hopeful about a single dry day on a weekend after an extremely wet period? I'm with you. This has been the crappiest winter/early spring I can ever remember and I'm not that young. it has been a bit better down here than western Washington, however. We deserve a week or two of mild, dryish weather. The snowfall we had this winter was great, but the lasting memory for me of this wet season will be the doom and gloom and lack of dry, mild weather, basically since early November. As a fair weather cyclist, I've only been on my bike once this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
